Cleavers Loose Tea - Certified Organic

Hand-Selected by Qualified Herbal Naturopath | 100% Certified Organic | Fast Australia-Wide Shipping

Scattered across hedgerows, damp meadows, and woodland edges throughout Europe and North America, Cleavers (Galium aparine)—famously known as Goosegrass, Sticky Willy, or Bedstraw—is easily recognized by the tiny, hooked hairs that allow it to cling playfully to passing clothing. Celebrated since classical antiquity, Dioscorides noted that ancient Greek shepherds fashioned primitive strainers from its tangled stems. In Western herbalism and European folk traditions, Cleavers is revered as the ultimate springtime reboot herb. Rich in iridoids, flavonoids, and organic minerals, it serves as a premier, gentle lymphatic cleanser, helping to move stagnant fluids and clear metabolic waste through the kidneys.
